squeakers
Games decided barely
Squeakers is the plural of squeaker—something or someone that squeaks.
A squeaker can be a toy that makes a squeaking sound when pressed, a small animal like a mouse, or a contest decided by the narrowest margin: The election was a squeaker.
In informal use, squeakers may refer to young children or small creatures that make high-pitched sounds.
